Health

So I have some pretty bad hypothyroid going on that's been affecting pretty much every aspect of my life. It's pretty bad. The doctor wants to make sure that that is all that's wrong, so I'm on medication for 6 weeks then I go back and do more blood testing (all the same ones as before) just to make sure we're going in the right direction. I much prefer this over celiac or ulcers. :) 

In other random news. My mother just gave me a whole bunch of files. When I was in school, k-12, I had special education for awhile and IEPs since I had a hearing loss and had a lag in language because of my hearing loss. School districts, by law (at least here), are required to keep them for 8 years after the student has left, then after those 8 years they either give the files to the family or burn them. My mom works in the school district so they gave everything to her, and she gave it to me to see if I wanted to keep them. I don't, but it was fun to go through it and see all the changes that were made and such. Brought back a lot of memories and things that I had completely forgotten about. I have test results from various language and listening tests from Kindergarten all the way to 8th grade. I stopped receiving special eduation services after 8th grade since I had improve significantly from 6th grade after having transliterators in the classroom (similar to interpreters). 

It was just incredibly weird to go back and look through all that stuff and see the different mistakes I made. One common mistake that I made in Kindergarten...I still make now. :) I have a very difficult time distinguishing between s and z sounds and sh and zh sounds and thus have difficulty producing them correctly. For example, resist, I said both s's with an s sound instead of the first s being pronounced as a z and the second s being pronounced as an s. I even have tests result sform when I was a pre-schooler when I was only 2 years old. A note that was put down was that I had a hard time focusing. That made me laugh (I'm FREAKING TWO!!!). 

Just makes me think about what I'm about to venture into with my masters and when I'm teaching deaf/hard-of-hearing kids. 

Anyway...told you it was random.
